Three to...

Hello, Don Gavin.

Hello Joe Roggan.

Good to see you, sir.

It's good to see you.

It's been a long time.

Yeah, it's a pleasure to get you on here, man.

I'm a thrill to be here.

We've talked about you, uh, I don't know how many times many times I've heard that my son he says you mentioned my name glowingly is yeah well hey man you were a giant inspiration to me when I was coming up.

That's good to hear.

Well, you know, I've talked about this so many times, but that era of Boston comedy,

when I started in 88 and you guys had already been through the dingo and all that's been gone and it was the heyday of comedy. It was an amazing time and you know I was very fortunate to be able to see guys like you and

and sweetie and you know and all those guys mike Donovan and

kevin and kevin knocks and i mean go down the list over and over and over again

lenny clark and just some amazing time for stand-up back then.

Yeah, that was certainly the heyday.

I came in, I started it around 79, and it been going on for one or two years, but going on meaning not much going on, you know, and then it built and built and built and then to the point that that explosion is just it.

Wow, and I always like to think people talk to a Boston style.

There wasn't a Boston style other than being very aggressive maybe.

Yeah. But everybody had different ways to do it because we didn't know. It wasn't like an LA style or New York style. There was just all different approaches coming out to the same end.

Yeah, you started in 79, so that was really like the beginning of comedy clubs, right?

Yeah, well, they weren't even comedy clubs.
